On the Nemesis, Knockout, Shockwave, and Ratchet are working together. Knockout is mostly relegated to fetching equipment, which irritates him. He gets caught eyeing Ratchet instead of focusing.

Knockout tossed a tool onto the tray a little harder than necessary, plating twitching. When Shockwave’s monotone voice pointed out his lack of focus, Knockout rolled his optics.

"Oh, excuse me for not enjoying being everyone’s delivery drone. I am helping." He shot Ratchet a sidelong glance, lips quirking into a smirk. "Besides… I’ve seen worse. For an old mech, he’s got… a certain charm. Not bad at all."
